DeskLickr: My new favorite app!

JR — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:04:36 +0000

So you all know I am addicted to Flickr… Well something else you may not know is I never understood why people get all caught up on the image they have on their desktop. When do you ever see it! For the most part I have always just had a boring color as the background on both the PC and Mac. Well that changed today when I discovered my new favorite application DeskLickr.

The app randomly rotates your desktop from a selection of Flickr groups or image sets of your choice. The thing I like most about it is it’s an easy way to discover new photos and inspiration, and you don’t have to do anything. I think it’s pretty cool!

Cooliris: Cool image browsing

JR — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:52:58 +0000

If you mix some RSS ideas with a nice interface and fluid interaction, you end up with Cooliris. Think of it as ‘RSS by pictures’. That’s pretty much how I got to know it. Really, it’s much more than that, particularly if you a fan of Flickr and enjoy getting your daily dose of feeds (RSS or other).

My first exposure to this was on the iPhone via the Cooliris for iPhone app. I must admit, I was a little lost as to its use and how to make the most of it. However it was not long after installing the Cooliris application on the PC that I began to see its power.

The key here is in two things:

How you navigate Cooliris, and
How you can use it from within your browser.

Imagine being able to browse all your Flickr favorites in the one window, or stumbling upon a website of photos and not having to click on every photo to browse them all. You can view them all in the same window, backwards and forwards and with one click view the image within the website it is stored on.

Now I could really go on for pages about this app but I think its best if you just try it and find out for yourself. So move on over to the Cooliris website and have some fun!

The wedding was in Castlemaine and the day was a great success. Jason asked me to do the photos and of course, I said yes!

Lulu Studio

JR — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 05:29:35 +0000

Lulu has recently enhanced their photo book publishing facility. The new publication wizard is a snap and makes publishing that special album that little bit easier. With a nice, clean interface and easy navigation, Lulu photo books are certainly one of the easiest ways to create the special gift for that memorable moment.

Photoblog Flavour

JR — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 05:26:08 +0000

The team at Pixelpost.org finally have a new site to be proud of. Not that it is finished yet, but it is a nice way to find out about version 1.6.0 of my favorite photo blogging application Pixelpost.

Gallery round up

JR — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 05:22:19 +0000

At an ever increasing rate the big cloudy world on The Internet is becoming welcomed by both older and inexperienced users who want to share their beautiful images with the world. Well there is plenty of ways to publish your photos online, here is a summary of my suggestions.

So, Which one’s right for you?

Flickr

Straight off the bat, this is without question the best and most popular social photo sharing method on the Net today. Only takes a minute to register and is available as a free registration or for a small price you get a whole lot more. Create groups, comment on other peoples and friends photos, make notes, add photos to your favorites and even create your own public or private albums.
www.flickr.com

Picasa Web Albums

Google’s answer to Flickr, search and become part of online communities. It is a little less social then flickr but very Google.

4images

An old favourite, I used this for many years before moving to Flickr. 4Images is a terrific gallery but you need to do one thing, provide your own database. So you will need a hosting account. Once setup visitors can register, upload their own photos and comment on pictures. I love this app!

Zenphoto

A nice PHP script with an easy to use and manage gallery setup. Easily inserted into an existing website or page. Also requires access to a database so a hosting account is also required. I love the back end to this, it is easy to use and simpe to upload and manage photos.
www.zenphoto.org

Minishowcase

Powered by AJAX, minishowcase is a small and simple php/javascript online photo gallery. Simple to setup and looks nice too. Is in my opinion, more of a image management tool than a way of showing off photos. Definitely worth a look though!

Imagevuex

Now this is just damn sexy! If you want a flashy way to display galleries than this is the way to go. A great back end and a very sexy interface. Along with more customisation options than you could ever think of. I have used this many times and absolutely love it! The great thing is, no database needed.
www.imagevuex.com

PhotoStack

Another easy to use image organization system featuring nested albums, template driven layout, smart caching, automatic thumbnail creation, RSS feeds, picture level EXIF date extraction, and picture level descriptions, all without the need for a database. Plus it’s free!

Slideshow Pro

I have used this for clients websites on a few occasions. It provides a simple to use and navigate Flash image gallery that can be inserted into pretty much any page or website. A simple to use back end setup and yes, this one requires a database. View a sample of its use at Stuart Hale’s website. Small fee for a nice gallery management system!
www.slideshowpro.net

Simpleviewer

This is great! No need for a database and comes with a heap of features and it’s free! I have used this plenty of times and it is now used for most galleries for another project of mine, My Event Photos.

iPap

This is where my interest in having an online image gallery all started. You need a database and only a little bit of time to get it configured how you want. You can bulk upload images and tweak the layout to just how you want it. This is also used at My Event Photos. A terrific PHP–based application from Rebel Pixel Productions.
